Validation of the Thermo Scientific SureTect Real-Time PCR Method for Detection of Salmonella in Food and Environmental Samples

26 Aug 2013

The Thermo Scientific SureTect Salmonella species Assay is a new Real-Time PCR test for the detection of Salmonella from food, animal feeds and environmental samples. The purpose of the study presented in this scientific poster is to validate the Thermo Scientific SureTect Salmonella species Assay according to AOAC Research Institute (RI) Performance Tested Methods validation criteria. The results demonstrate the SureTect Salmonella species assay reliably detected the presence of Salmonella in a wide variety of matrices.

Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
